The atmosphere becomes less dense with altitude. Atmosphere, thin though it is, has weight, and it is the weight of the air above which compresses the air below it, to greater density.
There is no distance from the earth to space. The atmosphere gradually gets thinner as altitude increases. The furthest noticeable part of the atmosphere is "said" to be approx. 600mile from sea level. You will be close to the thinnest part of the atmosphere when you realize that you can't increase altitude anymore.
The greater the altitude, the lower the air pressure.
The atmosphere
Density Altitude is the altitude relative to the standard atmosphere conditions (ISA) at which the air density will be equal to the indicated at the place of observation.
it decreases

because temperatures increase steadily with altitude.
Temperature decreases as altitude increases because there are less molecules in the atmosphere to hold in the heat.
No, air pressure decreases with altitude. As you go farther towards earth's surface, the weight of the atmosphere presses down with increasing force.

Due to the altitude, hilly areas are cooler than plains. The higher we go, the cooler it becomes. The temperature rises by 1^C for an increase in 162 m ascent. Till 14 km, the limit of troposphere, the temperature decreases.
The density of the atmosphere decreases with altitude.
Because the atmosphere and altitude make the wind from the sea going up the mountain cooler and then the atmosphere at the top of the mountain colder then when it come down it turn into hot air (leeward side)
Yes it does. The higher the altitude, the cooler the temperature in general.
The temp in the atmosphere approaches -90C at an altitude of 80 kilometers.
The temperature in the atmosphere decreases as altitude increases. The reason for this is there is less warmth from the surface of the earth reaching the higher altitudes because there are fewer particles of the atmosphere to transfer the heat. The temperature begins to increase, however, around 100km in altitude because of the heat and radiation from the sun.
